Geneva – Free Time

For Saturday Night, here are some of your options of where to go/do/dine:

Walk around the lake area. This is the prettiest part of Geneva’s outdoors.

You can go for a swim/dip (depending on temperatures) in Lake Geneva at “The Baths” Bain de Paquis . The place also has an outdoorsy, casual and low-key canteen with great view of Geneva from the lake. Swimming is optional.

Restaurant Options

Brasserie des Halles de l’Ile, one of my favourites, in the middle of the river Rhone (you may recognize it from the French fame of Cote du Rhone wines). Quite impressive view of the water current, if you sit by the window. Map / Yelp ReviewAddress: 1 Place De L’ile, 1204 Genève – Phone +41 22 311 08 88

Restaurant Les Armures – located in the “Old Town” part of Geneva, close to Cathedral St Pierre, in a pedestrian zone. Can be combined with meanderings among the ancient buildings and architecture. Map / Yelp Review

Parfums de Beyrouth- Those who want something more adventurous, go to this yummy Lebanese restaurant. Located in an ethnic neighbourhood very close to the main train station, i.e. very easily accessible. Map / Yelp ReviewAddress: Rue de Berne 18, 1201 Genève – Phone +41 22 731 66 58
